Craig Charles celebrates the heyday of Liverpool's Mardi Gras club, which in the 1960s played host to high-calibre black performers such as Ben E King, Al Green , Arthur Conley , Clyde McPhatter and the Chants, and aspiring locals such as the Vocal Perfection (later the Real Thing). The club became the music mecca for a postwar generation of white and black lovers of the Stax sound.
